Ladies and Gentlemen of good humour and bad taste: It is my pleasure to present THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE DIRTY POOLfor your reading pleasure!

When I started this magazine out, I didn’t think I’d get more than three submissions for the first issue, and I was stunned to find my inbox regularly filled with hilarious and top-notch stuff. I was touched and thrilled when talented people from all over the world came together to make you laugh with their very funny prose, so please, without further ado…

Born in London Ontario in 1991, Alex has been writing since he was yee-high, with his first book, "Squirrel Man VS the Terror Turtles." The volume is long gone and Alex has no wish to find it again. His other childhood writing project was a comic-book series called "Puncher" which was sadly inspired by 90's comic book tropes, including graphic violence, bulky leather coats, and characters with ity-bitty feet.
Older and wiser, Alex managed an M.A. in English lit, and his writing has changed dramatically. He plans to (eventually) release a fiction novel and a collection of short stories, but that is but one of many plans. Alex is looking to teach internationally, write about his experiences both working in Canada and around the world, and he hopes you enjoy his writing.
